Korean serials have a reputation for drawing out the script for what seems an unnecessary length of time in order to create some kind of cult following or franchise or whatever. I watched this one, Attic Cat from start to finish every weeknight when it was aired by GMA in Philippines in 2005. Given that the series is quite long in terms of episodes it is a bit odd that there are only really two main characters, but the amount of twists and mini cliffhangers makes it quite a good series really and entertaining even if it is obvious the happy ending in the series is for the two to finally realise they were made for each other. I really liked watching this programme and the theme tune is really cool as well...

Fell in love with KRW because of this

Warning: Spoilers
I really love the flow of the drama. Definitely worth the time. I'm just sad the the girl in the drama is dead. I hope I search about the drama after I complete the series I felt sad to look at her. Anyway this is a very good drama I hope many could watch. From one sided love to mutual love.
The best K-drama to air in USA so far

*** Does contain spoilers. ***
If THE LONG VACATION is Japanese TV's calling card to the international TV market, then ROOFTOP ROOM CAT or ROOFTOP CAT or ATTIC CAT must be South Korea's standard bearer.
ROOFTOP ROOM CAT involves a rich lost-in-life college boy who wants the sexy rich girl who wants the successful business man who wants the poor but responsible girl who wants the rich lost-in-life college boy.
It is a great love quad-angle with lots of forceful parents and grandparents adding to the drama. While ROOFTOP ROOM CAT does not have the world class music of THE LONG VACATION or its sense of place in entertainment history, ROOFTOP ROOM CAT does share relationships between generations (grandparents, parents, adult children) while still remaining hip and very fun to watch.
This is the best K-drama series so far. Like with many Korean names in the IMDb, most all of the character names spelled in the English subtitles for this series on the AZN cable channel are spelled differently than they are spelled here at IMDb.
